Coloured bath resurfacing for Broadwell homes

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Broadwell, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Broadwell?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Broadwell

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Broadwell

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Broadwell

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Broadwell: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Broadwell is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Broadwell. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Broadwell, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
